The Northview Chiefs will challenge the Tate Aggies at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Northview is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.1 runs per game this season.

Northview took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Thursday. They never let Baker get on the board and left with a 12-0 win. The victory continues a trend for the Chiefs in their matchups with the Gators: they've now won four in a row.

Jamison Gilman made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Gilman was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season.

In other batting news, Northview got a massive performance out of Avery Stuckey, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. Kylee Langham was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Northview kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matchups.

Meanwhile, Tate was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They came up short against Fort Walton Beach, falling 14-4. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Aggies have suffered since March 11th.

Kara Wine was cooking despite her team's loss, going 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI.

Northview's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Tate, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-12.

Northview's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's contest. The Chiefs have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Tate, though, as they've been averaging only 0.7 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Northview continue to outrun the ball?

Northview was able to grind out a solid win over Tate in their previous matchup back in February, winning 6-1. Do the Chiefs have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Aggies turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
